The super creepy thing about "I hear what you're saying. I understand what you're saying. I agree with what you're saying - and I am doing the opposite" is NOT that Mom thought that made sense. The super creepiest thing is that I act the exact same way!! At least Mom thought she was acting according to religious teachings. There is NO excuse for me.
That is precisely what I do when I know in my head that getting to bed by 10:30 p.m. & up at 5:30 a.m. works best for me. When I know that developing a daily meditation practice would revolutionize my life in wondrous ways I can't begin to imagine. Ditto for yoga & body work.
Is it normal for humans to go with the flow, stick with familiar & comfortable, feel at home in the status quo? Absolutely. But we are NOT human - we are spiritual beings having a temporary human experience. And whether you believe that we go to a spiritual world after death or that we are reincarnated into another existence, or simply turn into compost, we should use this space/time continuum to transcend the human & open up the spirit.
And that is best done by having a firm understanding of what meets/advances our best interests (w/o hurting or harming others), then calling up sufficient self-love to begin & follow through.
Replace super creepy with super everything!
